Quad Premiums:  $450-$1200 depending on the letters. Further elaboration will be given on this segment as more data is collected. Because of the large number of end user sales in the quad premium segment, it’s important to differentiate between end user pricing and prices that are likely to be paid by domainers. The goal of this guide is to focus on reseller “quick sale” prices — not end user prices. Quad Premium LLLL.coms containing 2 or 3 of the same letters (eg: FFIS.com , MMMP.com) tend to sell at a significant premium, regardless of the quality the premium letters are. There have been no documented sales of triple letter quad premiums (such as MMMP.com) for less than $800 lately. Such names tend to sell for $1000-$2000 depending on letter quality, end user potential, and desirability as a collectible. AABB type LLLL.coms and other rare LLLL.coms tend to sell for between $400-$1000+, with $400 being the floor for combinations containing 2 bad letters (eg. XXQQ.com) and $1000+ being what all premium combinations (eg. DDHH.com) would typically fetch. This guide of course makes the assumption of there being zero pronounceability

Quad Premiums: $350-$1000 depending on the letters. Further elaboration will be given on this segment as more data is collected. Because of the large number of enduser sales in the quad premium segment, it’s important to differentiate between enduser pricing and prices that are likely to be paid by domainers. The goal of this guide is to focus on reseller “quick sale” prices — not enduser prices. Quad Premium LLLL.coms containing 2 or 3 of the same letters (eg: FFIS.com , MMMP.com) tend to sell at a significant premium, regardless of the quality the premium letters are.

** This guide is intended to illustrate likely prices in the domain name aftermarket for unpronounceable LLLL.coms. It is not intended to elucidate likely prices for pronounceables (whether of the VCCV, CVVC, VCVC, CVCV variety or not). These sectors are highly volatile and entry into them is not recommended for anyone who hasn’t thoroughly researched LLLL.coms. These sectors will not be evaluated in this guide, nor in future guides. The difficulty in separating enduser sales from sales to other domainers (especially with CVCVs) hinders the effectiveness of any statistical profiling.

10th percentile: KQGY.com, AKXW.com, XDVU.com, TQXN.com, BZUV.com
Names at the 10th percentile tend to have at least 2 bad letters or 1 bad letter and 2 semi-premiums.

Names at the 50th percentile tend to have a maximum of 2 semi-premiums or 1 bad letter and 1 semi-premium. They often have only 1 bad letter.

75th percentile: ITYD.com, FCUD.com, PNKE.com, GTAV.com, TKNN.com
Names at the 75th percentile generally do not contain a bad letter and often include only 1 semi-premium. Double letter semi-premiums (eg. PVVE.com) are also commonly found at this percentile.

90th percentile: ELTF.com, FRBM.com, ARJF.com, AKPS.com, HTGT.com
Names at the 90th percentile generally consist of both quad premiums and triple premiums with a single semi-premium letters. VCVCs are also present — generally containing at least 2 lesser quality letters. Triple letter LLLL.coms (such as JJJL.com) sometimes find themselves in this category — generally when the triple letter is a weaker semi-premium (such as J or K).

The real movers and shakers over the last week have been quad premiums, having appreciated a whopping 40% to $350 from their min wholesale of $250 on January 24th. There were no reported sales under $30 since January 24th. Prices at the low end of the spectrum are rapidly appreciating and large gains are expected to be reported once again on February 8th.
